Kevin's Hetero MFM Poly-Fi V

3:27 p.m., Monday the 30th

The Seahawks (football) were playing last night, so BH and I did not watch any episodes. Today, BH and SB are both at work. Tomorrow, BH will be at work, while things will be a little bit weird with SB. She will work at home at first; then, in the evening, she will leave to continue work at the credit union itself. She will be there probably until after midnight. This is all because a lot has to be done for the end of a year at the credit union. (SB runs the computers, to put it simply.) SB will be off on Wednesday; BH will be at work straight through the week until Saturday (when he'll be off, he'll be off on Saturday).

For dinner last night, SB made us a Cajun soup with various bits of seafood. I don't know what we'll have tonight. This concludes my riport.
 
2:47 p.m., Tuesday the 31st

Dinner last night was leftover seafood soup for me ... salad and chicken for BH and SB, after which there was a piece of chicken left for me.

Brother-Husband got home from work early today (c. 1:30 p.m.). He brought ... dinner? from Little Caesars, which we ate while it was still hot/warm. Snowbunny opted, instead, to try to take a nap for an hour or so. Eddie made that difficult by barking up a storm.

BH had to start work early today, so no episodes last night. Tomorrow he starts work later, so we'll probably watch something after SB leaves for work (c. 4:30 p.m.). Hopefully she'll get done with work around midnight (but she could be stuck there til as late as 4:00 a.m.).
 
4:20 p.m., Thursday the 2nd

BH and SB are generally on parallel schedules right now, Monday through Friday, and off on the weekends. Yesterday (New Year's Day) was one of those rare occasions when SB was off and BH was working, so, SB and I had sex. Who knows when we'll have our next opportunity? but I don't think either of us is worried about that.

Also we watched a couple of old M*A*S*H episodes ... you can never get too much of those. On the 31st, BH and I watched a movie called "Serenity" (2019, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway). Kind of a campy show, but I didn't mind.

For dinner last night SB made swordfish steaks, with sweet potatoes and salad.
 
12:08 p.m., Friday the 3rd

For dinner last night, SB made quesadillas, and some really good guacamole. It was late (around 7:00 p.m.), so we did not watch any episodes.

I have altered my promise to SB, I now consider it to be okay to get plastered when it's alcohol purchased with money someone (read: my mom) sent me as a gift. I'm on my last binge for this year (til November). This concludes my riport.
 
4:08 p.m., Saturday the 4th

BH and SB went out with Eddie, probably to practice for his CGC test. I was not invited, SB explained that she needed some one-on-one time with BH. I think they were going to go to a Lowe's or a Home Depot (where I think dogs are allowed), also SB wanted to get some curtains?

I asked SB if she'd take me shopping when she got back; she was like, maybe. If not, hopefully we'll go tomorrow.
 
1:17 p.m., Sunday the 5th

There's a football game on today, I think the Seahawks are playing? SB said she'll take me shopping during the game, that way the store won't be so busy.

Last night, BH and SB got home in time for dinner, they brought me a Reuben sandwich. :) A little after 7:00 p.m., BH and I watched a movie ("A Simple Favor").
 
2:48 p.m., Monday the 6th

The cleaning lady came over today, she brought a helper. Turns out the helper lived in Michigan, until about a year ago? something like that. Anyway Eddie had to be in his cage while they were here, otherwise he will rocket into the great outdoors. After they got done and left, I let him out and wow was he wound up. He and I played about ten rounds of Dog Frisbee, and then he was so wiped out his tongue was hanging out and he couldn't make it go back in. I had refreshed his water dish, and filled it up nice and full, so he was able to have a nice, hefty drink.

This concludes my riport.
 
3:05 p.m., Thursday the 9th

Over the last couple of days I've been watching some of my favorite NonStampCollector youtubes ...

... and I've been musing over the riddle of why atheism would be a better choice (at least for me) than Christianity (or any other religion). Is it because atheism is more beneficial, or because it's better to believe in the truth? and I wonder if both reasons aren't the case. For example, is the problem of disease better addressed by prayer, or by science? Which is a better use of my time? Would I be better off believing there is no afterlife, or believing in a pleasant fantasy? Not that the fantasy Christianity offers is necessarily pleasant, there is the doctrine of Hell for instance.

Or in the case of NonStampCollector, maybe atheism just offers better entertainment ...
 
9:41 a.m., Saturday the 11th

Today will be rather busy for BH and SB. At 10:00 a.m., SB has a class at the Red Lantern (I believe they're teaching how to make spring rolls). And Eddie has two Barn Hunt classes, one at 4:00 p.m. and one at 6:00 p.m., BH and SB will both go to those, but I'll stay home. SB says they'll bring me takeout on the way home.

SB and I did our shopping last night. There's a bunch of snow in the forecast over the coming week, so we might get snowed in to a certain extent.
 
2:29 p.m., Sunday the 12th

I just heard the news today, Snowbunny told me, one of my nephews has committed suicide. I am sad and surprised, he was a really nice guy and seemed well-adjusted. It's always the last person you would expect, right? but I wasn't all that tight with him, so I'm not nearly as broken up about it as I would be if I was, say, his father, my older brother. I feel bad for my brother, he has now lost one of his sons, and I think about a year ago, he also lost his much-beloved dog, to cancer. I'm sure this is super hard on others as well, such as my nephew's siblings. And my mother. And my younger sister (who tends to be strongly affected by these kinds of things). For my own part, my life will be a little bit dimmer without my nephew in it, but I respect his right to end it all if that's the only way he could get some relief. I think you have to be pretty desperate to do yourself, so obviously he must have been suffering a lot. I sure wouldn't have guessed that though.
 
3:48 p.m., Monday the 13th

My mother called me yesterday to convey the news ... she seemed to be holding it together pretty well, all things considered (she has lost a grandson). Then my brother chatted with me on Facebook ... he also seemed to be holding it together pretty well. I guess my nephew's mom (my brother's first ex) was very broken up about it though. I hope she gets through it, but who knows.

The next few days are going to be extra cold, with snow. Today my bedroom heater is having a hard time keeping up, the temperature in here has climbed up to 68° (from 64°) but that's all.
 
5:03 p.m., Tuesday the 14th

Right now the temperature in my room is 68°, it was 66° for awhile there. The weather's supposed to warm up over the next week, to a high of 51° on Sunday.

We were going to have a game night this Saturday at ex-SIL's house, but that had to be canceled for my nephew's funeral. My brother (his father) is kind of mending fences with ex-SIL (his more recent ex), he paid for her and a few of her loved ones to fly out to Utah. My sisters are mending fences with her too. Sad that it took a funeral, but the Lord works in mysterious ways right?

SB said she'd make me chili and a potato for dinner tonight. That's all I have to tell you at this time.
 
Sorry to hear of your nephew, and hope your brother, mother and others in the family feel supported through their grief.

Take it easy, yourself, too. Not sure how much you get leaned on by other family members but sometimes if you're not the closest to something emotionally you can carry things a bit more for others and it does take its toll.
 
11:28 a.m., Friday the 17th

Thanks, fuchka. I suppose this is one of those times when it's helpful to have a shitton of relatives. When someone is grieving, I can know that if I'm not always 100% there for them, other family members will fill in the gap and make sure that that someone is amply cared for. My family members are kind of relying on each other for commiseration and comfort at this time. I expect there will be a huge number of people at the funeral (in Utah), so then I don't feel quite so bad about me not being in attendance. My V is contributing $80.00 towards a large bouquet that my family ordered, also we are sending sympathy cards to my brother and my mom.
 
10:07 a.m., Saturday the 18th

BH and SB are going out with FNG (in a few minutes) to get some stuff from Ikea. I have to stay home, there wouldn't be enough room for four people. SB says we'll probably go shopping later today, hopefully we will.

The cold snap went away, everything for the next week will be up in the upper 40's and lower 50's. Lows will all be in the 40's. Rain every day.
 
5:55 p.m., Sunday the 19th

The Ikea trip took much longer than expected, they did not get home until about 8:00 p.m. or so. That worked out well for me, it took me that long to get caught up on Facebook.

Eddie had a Barn Hunt practice today from about 10:00 a.m. until noon. I went along for the ride. BH stayed home, and worked on some of the stuff from Ikea. I think we're building some kind of storage space, shelves or a closet. For the back room.

After we got back, we went out again to go shopping. The total bill was over $300.00 (and this was far from the first time it was that high), SB was quite displeased about that, and said we might have to curtail shopping in the future. :( I love to shop. Please don't curtail!

If only we were billionaires. Then we could get a nice tax cut!
 
I’m really sorry to read about your nephew.
 
12:22 p.m., Monday the 20th

It was a heavy blow, he was a really nice guy. Too nice, is the current consensus, for this relatively harsh world.
 
4:41 p.m., Wednesday the 22nd

On Monday, BH and SB were both off. BH worked on the stuff in the back room. The cleaning lady came over (in the morning). If I remember right, dinner was SB's famous chicken noodle soup. We gave some of it to FNG. If I remember right, BH and I watched the movie "Joker." It was a good movie, really well done. Depressing, but that was a necessary part of the plot.

Yesterday Eddie had a Barn Hunt practice at Argus Ranch. I went along for the ride, and read in a couple of books during the practice. On the way there, we ate dinner at a place called Wally's. (Same as the place where we ate in my December 29 entry.) Good food, but messy. This concludes my riport.
 
3:26 p.m., Thursday the 23rd

There was another Barn Hunt practice yesterday at the other place (as per usual on Wednesdays), but SB did not want to go to that one (it would have been overkill, twice in one week). SB was a bit late getting home, she made a "chili potato" for me for dinner, BH was late getting home, so we did not watch anything.

The weather is good for this time of year, it's 55° out right now, with highs for the next week all in the low 50's. Lows all in the 40's. Rain every day. This concludes my riport.
